Smoking in Japan may not be anywhere near as socially acceptable as it once was, with many — although far from most — eateries now separating smokers. Some even sensationally sending them outside.
But that’s not to say tobacco isn’t seen as totally intolerable, as teenagers are still tempted to take up the habit,

and outdoor snacks are sometimes subtly scented.

Or even smoked.

There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by full feed RSS, and now Twitter too.

I don’t like smoking….and smokers
I hate non smokers who hate smokers….
People say I look like Jay-Z
Huh? I am confused by the last comment, but anyway.. I don’t mind if people want to smoke but there is a time and a place for it lol. I don’t think while cooking for other people is the time to do it though haha!
I think I’d just walk by if the food was going to be served by someone with a cig in their mouth.. What if some ash fell on your plate, ugh!
